Scrooge's kidney's are failing. It's either lymphoma (sp?) or leukemia (sp?). Signs for a regular kidney infection aren't there, so it isn't that. His white blood count is high.We have three options..well four. We can give him an ultrasound, do exploratory surgery, give him shots, or put him down. Tomorrow we will be giving him a few shots to see if it will increase his appitite. He isn't in pain yet so we want to keep him alive as long as we can as long as he's still happy and pain free which we think is the case. If that doesn't work..well..yeah.

My oldest cat, Fuzz (who is only 12 or 13) is dying of lymphoma. She's not in any pain right now, but she's really thin. We're expecting her to go sometime within the week. Last night I held her for the longest time while I was studying, and cried.

I totally understand how you're feeling.

I hope Scrooge is comfortable and happy. He's lucky to have such a loving and considerate "mom."
